Nandi is the sacred bull and the most devoted attendant of Shiva — his mount, his gatekeeper, and the guardian who sits facing every Shiva temple, gazing eternally at his lord.
"Whisper your wish into Nandi's ear, the elders say, and he will carry it to Shiva himself."
Patient, powerful and utterly devoted, Nandi represents loyalty, strength and steadfast faith. A child named Nandi carries dependability, calm power and a deeply devoted heart.
